The directive, issued on April 5, 2024, specifically focuses on trucks with foreign number plates traveling on various routes, including those from Tema harbour to Paga, Tema to Elubo, and other specified locations.
These trucks are urged to adhere to designated customs check points for proper inspection by customs officials.
